Well, I can generate a list of key phrases based on the 5-10 various phrase books I have from publishers and I can group these into the standard categories used by these publishers and put them into a spreadsheet. (In English BTW)
I could then put these on to a Google Drive or similar and allow people to send me their L2 translation, which I would then feed back into the spreadsheet.zenmonkey wrote:-- possibility of selecting an author when multiple people have provided L2 files

I've been playing around with the auth system provided by the phpBB system. We could use the forum for auth and registration for download.zenmonkey wrote:management:

Comments? Feedback?
The files generated by the system I critiqued was as follows.
1 PDF with L1 -> L2 with each phrase numbered, and broken into categories. Hotels, Taxi, Getting Help, etc.
1 Top level directory with sub-directories of categories. Sound files are mp3's stored in the category directory and numbered as per the pdf, with _a for L1 recording and _b for L2 recording.
I'd like to do this as an extension and have and actual authoring system - and possibly avoid using excel sheets and google drive by having it all database driven (mp3 files would just be referenced rather than BLOBs).
I'm thinking that a generic and basic translation management system could be used for this but also for the translation management of the actual site. A common interface for creating the phrase book content or for creating a phpBB language pack - minus the mp3 mgmt.
Although, initially, I see nothing wrong with starting this now with what you describe.
